PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gunter Streicher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mario Turk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Streicher's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wait And Bleed. Turk is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Y'all must've forgot. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Mario Turk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
